To Live and Be Happy
Do not be discouraged if your prospect does not respond at once. Search out
another alcoholic and try again. You are sure to find someone desperate enough
to accept with eagerness what you offer. We find it a waste of time to keep
chasing a man who cannot or will not work with you. If you leave such a person
alone, he may soon become convinced that he cannot recover by himself. To
spend too much time on any one situation is to deny some other alcoholic an
opportunity to live and be happy.

Thought to Ponder . . .
AA is not for people who need it, it's not even for
people who want it; it's for people who will work it.
